Summer Vacation with Kids by the Snowy Mountains: Fun Even on Rainy Days!

Bringing the kids to Lijiang? This homestay nestled at the foot of the snowy mountains totally gets parents! During our stay, it rained—though we missed the "Sunlight Over Golden Mountains" view (the peaks were shrouded in mist), the kids still had a blast, and I got to relax. Here’s why this place is perfect for families: 1. **Convenient Location**: Close to the Snow Mountains and Ancient Towns Just a short distance from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you don’t need to venture far on rainy days. Listening to the rain in the courtyard while watching the mist swirl around the mountains has its own dreamy charm. A short walk takes you to Baisha Ancient Town, where the wet cobblestone paths and historic buildings feel even more atmospheric. Kids can splash in puddles while you leisurely explore the old shops under an umbrella—no rush, just slow, relaxed family time. 2. **Kids’ Paradise: Fun Rain or Shine** The homestay has courtyards front and back, plus a cute Hobbit-style cottage. On rainy days, kids can watch raindrops from the porch or play in puddles; when it’s dry, they can roll on the grass, chase butterflies, or play with the resident dog (pet-friendly perk!). The dog even "greeted" us by lying down—so bringing furry friends is stress-free. Meanwhile, I sipped tea indoors, happily watching the kids go wild. 3. **Cozy Rooms: Perfect for Rainy-Day Lounging** The warm wooden rooms with soft beds made staying in during the rain extra cozy. My kid pressed against the window, mesmerized by raindrops on leaves, saying, "Mom, look! The grass is drinking water." Way more engaging than cartoons at home—and I even sneaked in a nap without chasing after them! 4. **Rainy-Day Joys: Slow, Meaningful Family Time** At night, we listened to the rain on the terrace. My child hugged a pillow and whispered, "We didn’t see the glowing mountain, but the rain here sounds so nice." Just being together, chatting unhurriedly, created memories far more precious than forced photo ops. Worried about weather ruining your Lijiang trip with kids? Pick a homestay like this by the mountains! Rain or shine, the little ones will love it—we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
